AAUW set to honor area's top senior girls

The Reading Branch of the American Association of University Women will honor 20 high school senior girls for academic excellence on April 20 at a breakfast to be held at the Inn at Reading, Wyomissing. Also honored will be the AAUW reentry and graduate scholarship recipients, past AAUW presidents and the current AAUW Reading Branch outstanding woman. The three top Reading-Berks Science and Engineering Fair winners, all girls, will be recognized.

Dr. Stephanie McNulty, an assistant professor in the government department at Franklin & Marshall College, author and AAUW American Fellowship recipient, will speak about careers and research in Latin American politics and Third World development.

The association annually recognizes the female student in each of Berks County's 19 high schools (there was one tie this year) who has the highest class rank at the end of the first semester and has been accepted by and plans to attend a four-year accredited college in the fall. Viola Garis of Twin Valley did not submit a picture and has not chosen a college or a major. Reentry and graduate scholarships are awarded as a result of profits earned during the annual Book Bonanza.
